Ingredients
Vanilla Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream (480 g)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk (396 g)
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract (10 g)
Blackberry Swirl
- 1 cup frozen blackberries (140 g)
- 1 tbsp + 1 tsp granulated sugar (12.5 g)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (4 g)
- Pinch of salt
What to do
1. Place blackberries, sugar, lemon and salt in a saucepan over medium/low heat. Let the berries cook until the fruit breaks down and produces a lot of liquid. After about 10 minutes of cooking, press the blackberries for a metal strainer. Set the juice to the side to cool.
2. In a large bowl, place condensed milk with vanilla extract. Using a whisk, mix well. In a stand mixer with a fitted whisk, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Mix the cream on medium for about 30 seconds and then increase the speed to high (hand mixer also works but is messy). Once you see medium stiff peaks forming, stop whisking. Fold the cream into the condensed milk mixture. Keep mixing until the mixture is combined. This could take a couple of minutes.
3. Pour mixture into a 9×5 pan. Drizzle the blackberry sauce over the cream. Using a knife, swirl everything around. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours. Scoop, then enjoy!
FAQ’s
Helpful tips
Here are some important Pro tips by Maude
- Strain the blackberry puree (optional, but recommended). Blackberries have lots of seeds, which can make the texture gritty. After cooking them down, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds for a smoother ice cream.
- Don’t over whip your cream. Whip your cream to medium stiff peaks so it folds easily into the condensed milk. Overwhipping can make the texture grainy.
- When folding your whipped cream into your condensed milk mixture: use a spatula to gently fold the blackberry mixture into the whipped base to keep things airy. Don’t stir aggressively or the mixture will deflate.
